Xiang Jing’s eerily life-like sculptures confront the viewer with a duplicitous engagement with outward appearance and inner psychology. Xiang’s works range from the larger than life to miniature cast in bronze or polyurethane, they draw from a classical tradition and aesthetic to portray the experiences of contemporary females. Her works depicting teenagers clubbing, shopping, and primping offer you a veneer of generic beauty, sparsely accessorised with synthetic searching props and most recent fashion trends their appearance of mundane innocence is contradicted through their expressions of violence, depression, and malaise. Towering over the viewer as a goddess-like effigy, her vacant gaze projects downward with oppressive force: her nakedness and vulnerability evoking a self-contemplative reflection of inadequacy, humility and emptiness.

Xiang's value lies not only in her uncanny capability to replicate the facial movements, the gestures, the physical tick that accompany a specific psychological mood, but also in her capacity to augment these psychological states by ingenious props - a cushion and a bright blue bow for a coquettish girl, a tall skinny stood upon which to crouch for a satirically reflective woman smoking on a lengthy, skinny cigarette. In addition to props, Xiang pays meticulous attention to the materials she utilizes and the ensuing surfaces. In Your Body, Xiang presents a gigantic nude. Fabricated from painted fibreglass, the figure is unnerving in detail, her expertly faux completed skin radiating a sickly, waxen pallor. Shorn headed, and slumped on a uncomplicated wooden chair, her subjective doll-like presence reflects the epitome of emotional depletion.
